A good diagnosis
starts with a good test

How precise a treatment can be depends on the quality of what's measured first. That's why we bring the tests, the technology, and the person who reads them together in one place.

Precision diagnosis

We don't guess: we measure. Every decision about your vision rests on objective data from state-of-the-art equipment.

Every test, one place

You get your tests where your specialist sees you. No shuttling between labs or repeating paperwork.

Who reads it matters

A test is only as good as the person reading it. Here they're interpreted by ophthalmologists dedicated to each area.

Same-day results

In most cases your specialist reviews the results in the same visit and walks you through the next steps.

The tests we run
at the center

Each test answers a different question about your vision. Your specialist decides which ones you need based on your case.

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

Scans the retina and optic nerve layer by layer, in seconds and without touching the eye.

What it's for
Glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and monitoring treatment.
Preparation
No special preparation. In some cases the pupil is dilated.

Visual Field Test (Perimetry)

Maps your entire field of vision, including peripheral, to find blind spots.

What it's for
Glaucoma, optic nerve disease, and neuro-ophthalmology problems.
Preparation
If you wear glasses, bring them. It takes a few minutes per eye and requires focus.

Corneal Topography & Tomography

Builds a detailed map of the shape and thickness of the cornea (Pentacam).

What it's for
Keratoconus, refractive surgery workups, and fitting specialty contact lenses.
Preparation
Stop wearing contact lenses beforehand: soft lenses 5 to 7 days, rigid 2 to 3 weeks.

Optical Biometry

Precisely measures the internal dimensions of the eye.

What it's for
Calculating the right intraocular lens before cataract or refractive surgery.
Preparation
No preparation needed. It is a quick, no-contact test.

Pachymetry

Measures the thickness of the cornea with precision.

What it's for
Reading true eye pressure in glaucoma and evaluating refractive surgery candidates.
Preparation
No special preparation.

Specular Microscopy

Counts and analyzes the endothelial cells, the innermost layer of the cornea.

What it's for
Corneal health before surgery and follow-up after corneal transplants.
Preparation
No special preparation.

Retinal Photography & Angiography

Photographs the retina and its blood vessels in high definition.

What it's for
Diabetic retinopathy, vascular occlusions, and other retinal diseases.
Preparation
Usually requires pupil dilation. Bring someone with you if you can.

Ocular Ultrasound

Uses ultrasound to see inside the eye when it cannot be viewed directly.

What it's for
Dense cataracts, vitreous hemorrhage, and evaluating intraocular masses.
Preparation
No special preparation.

About our
tests

Almost always, yes. Most tests are coordinated with your visit or ordered by your specialist, who decides which ones you need based on your case. You can request your appointment and we'll guide you.

Many tests are covered depending on your insurance (ARS) and the medical reason. Coverage varies by test and by plan, so reach out to confirm your case before your visit.

It depends on the test. Some, like retinal photography or a fundus exam, require dilation, which causes blurry near vision and light sensitivity for a few hours. If you are dilated, it is best to bring someone along or avoid driving right afterward.

Most tests are available the same day, and in many cases your specialist reviews them with you in the same visit and explains the next steps.

Yes. If you have prior OCT scans, visual fields, topographies, or reports, bring them. Comparing with earlier tests shows how things have changed and leads to better treatment decisions.
